This page is also available in:

Fil-11 ta’ Diċembru 2019, il-Kummissjoni Ewropea nediet il-Patt Ekoloġiku Ewropew li jsaħħaħ l-impenn tal-UE li tindirizza l-isfidi relatati mal-klima u l-ambjent li huwa l-kompitu l-iżjed importanti ta’ din il-ġenerazzjoni. L-objettiv tal-Patt Ekoloġiku Ewropew huwa li jittrasforma l-UE f’ekonomija moderna, effiċjenti fl-użu tar-riżorsi u kompetittiva, filwaqt li jiżgura:

  • l-ebda emissjoni netta ta' gassijiet serra sal-2050;
  • it-tkabbir ekonomiku jkun diżakkoppjat mill-użu tar-riżorsi;
  • l-ebda persuna u l-ebda post ma jitħallew jibqgħu lura.

Biex twettaq il-Patt Ekoloġiku Ewropew, l-UE qed twettaq pakkett komprensiv ta’ inizjattivi, inklużi proposti ta’ politika u leġiżlattivi u l-iżvilupp u l-modernizzazzjoni tal-istrumenti ta’ finanzjament.

Il-KESE ilu jappella għal “Patt Ekoloġiku u Soċjali”, filwaqt li jenfasizza r-rabta mill-qrib bejn il-Patt Ekoloġiku u l-ġustizzja soċjali. Huwa essenzjali li tinstema’ l-vuċi tal-partijiet ikkonċernati kollha sabiex f’ambjent san jitrawmu l-kumpaniji sostenibbli u kompetittivi tal-futur.

Il-Patt Ekoloġiku Ewropew għamel enfasi qawwija fuq l-investiment u l-finanzjament tat-tranżizzjoni ekoloġika u sostenibbli. Il-Patt Ekoloġiku huwa essenzjali biex l-Ewropa toħroġ mill-pandemija tal-COVID-19. Terz tal-investimenti ta’ EUR 1,8 triljun mill-Pjan ta’ Rkupru tan-NextGenerationEU, u l-baġit ta’ seba’ snin tal-UE, jiffinanzjaw il-Patt Ekoloġiku Ewropew. Din l-ispinta fl-opportunitajiet ta’ finanzjament għandha l-għan li tbiddel il-kriżi f’opportunità trasformattiva għall-futur tal-Ewropa.

Il-KESE għandu rwol kruċjali fil-monitoraġġ tal-implimentazzjoni tal-inizjattivi u l-azzjonijiet tal-Patt Ekoloġiku Ewropew. Il-KESE jħejji Opinjonijiet u jorganizza attivitajiet (ara l-menu sekondarju fuq ix-xellug ta’ din il-paġna) biex jiżgura li l-istituzzjonijiet tal-UE jqisu l-fehmiet tas-soċjetà ċivili organizzata u li l-inizjattivi tal-Patt Ekoloġiku jkunu koerenti maċ-ċirkostanzi ekonomiċi, soċjali u ċiviċi fil-prattika.

Minħabba n-natura trasversali u komprensiva tiegħu, il-Patt Ekoloġiku Ewropew huwa kopert mis-Sezzjonijiet kollha tal-KESE u mis-CCMI.

    This opinion deals with three of four megatrends at the heart of the new Commission priorities: climate change, biodiversity loss and globalisation. While the European Green Deal will result in higher environmental standards with, for instance, stricter climate change targets, it is important that all Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) are not undermining these improvements by contributing to deforestation or biodiversity loss in other countries. As one of the world's largest importer of energy, agricultural goods and raw materials, the EU has contributed to deforestation and biodiversity loss in other countries.

    The health, economic and social crisis of COVID-19 has intensified the severity of the affordable housing crisis that Member States have been facing for years, particularly for homeless people, overcrowded households, residents of working class neighbourhoods and seasonal workers and immigrants – victims of housing conditions that have directly affected the infection rate in society. Although housing policy remains the competence of the Member States, the shortage of decent and affordable housing in the European Union requires a European action plan on housing that includes a comprehensive set of measures, which are easy for people to understand, to help Member States, regions and cities in Europe to sustainably boost the supply of social and affordable housing and effectively combat homelessness.

    This exploratory opinion was requested by the European Parliament with a view to a forthcoming Commission initiative on fair minimum wages. The question of Decent minimum wages across Europe is a complex and sensitive issue. It is important that any EU action is based on accurate analysis and understanding of the situation and sensitivities in the Member States and fully respects the social partners' role and autonomy, as well as the different industrial relations models.

    Disruptions like coronavirus (COVID-19) threaten to bring the world economy and social life to a standstill. Its impacts include recessions in the USA, the EU, Japan and other regions of the world, extremely slow growth in China and huge losses in terms of output. Governments have to offset economic damage with fiscal and monetary policies and cope with the expected changes of the economic paradigm. The EESC stresses the need for efficient business models and trade defence mechanisms, in particular with regard to Asia, and notes that 36 million jobs in the EU depend on the EU's exporting potential, and that the share of EU employment supported by sales of goods and services to the rest of the world in relation to total employment increased from 10.1% in 2000 to 15.3% in 2017. The fiscal, economic and social response to the crisis is necessary for preventing its negative impact on these and other sectors.
